  1. Freaking Big Dick Swagger from the offense all series
  2. Anyone else see Harris rob Schwarber of a HR? Good lord is that guy athletic. Bought my first ever jersey (this year's city connect Braves jersey) and took my wife to her first Braves game at Truist a couple weeks ago as we're actually about to move from the Atlanta metro area to the West Coast in a couple of weeks.

    LBGTQ

    This shit with Target feels bleak. I understand not wanting your extremely low-paid teenage employees to feel threatened, but you know DAMN good and well this kowtowing is only going to embolden fascists.
  4. I understand, if our daughter was several years older it would probably be a lot more difficult. Thankfully she is still fairly young and extremely extroverted compared to me and my wife and can adapt to a big change easier right now. My mother is in bad shape physically but not quite on death's door. My dad is her caregiver, but he's so incredibly stubborn that he's refusing to make the big changes now that will make their lives easier when she really becomes debilitated over the next few years, like outright refusing to have us pay for a geriatric care manager. I just went through some very rough shit with my MIL and my BIL suddenly fighting every decision my wife was making despite never coming to really see her. I feel guilty about moving almost 3000 miles away but I just don't have the patience and energy with a young kid right now to push my dad to get them out of their house. I was more or less a single dad for my daughter for most of 2020-2022 while my wife cared for her mother then battled severe depression after her death, I'm emotionally tapped out for a while. Sorry for the look-at-me venting, but it's been a shitty two and a half years and my wife and I are basically ready to start a new and hopefully different chapter in our lives.
  5. My wife and I moved from Texas back to my home state of Georgia in 2015 and then had our daughter a year and a half later, all with the plan to try and get closer with my family. We made the decision last year to move somewhere pretty far away. Most of the reasons are because of interpersonal issues like my wife made her aging mother move in with us at the start of COVID and was diagnosed with Alzheimer's with Lewy Body features and passing away last year (my wife was so close with her mother but refused to leave Fresno until she had fairly advanced dementia), as well as my parents really not doing much to help us out at all raising our daughter (she's almost six now and my wife and I haven't ever had a night alone together, one of us has always been with our daughter). Georgia is doing 80-90% of the shit that Texas's and Florida's GOP controlled legislature are enacting but without the media fanfare. Even with our Presidential and Senate elections flipping the GOP still easily controls our state legislature because of intense gerrymandering. If this weren't happening I'd probably not be so keen to leave, but that's not the case and it only looks like White Christion Nationalism is going to keep being enshrined legally. So around summer of last year, after my wife's mother passed, we very strongly considered Canada (liked talked to two separate immigration consultants and took separate trips to Toronto and Hamilton to evaluate housing) as my company has a huge Canadian employee base mostly in Ontario. They were going to be able to sponsor us through CUSMA and my wife would get a work-permit after we moved. Because of my wife's work permit being completely tied to me first and the fact that British Columbia and Ontario (you know, the provinces you'd probably move to) make anyone who isn't a permanent resident pay an extra 20% on a home purchase to combat foreign investors from snatching crap up, we decided to stay in the US but move to a much more progressive state, one where hopefully reproductive rights wouldn't be basically abolished and one where being gay or trans would basically become criminalized. We debated between Washington and Oregon and landed on Oregon after my wife's LCSW license was accepted there (WA wasn't going to be as easy). We're really going to miss our neighbors, the younger ones of which have kids closer to our daughter's age and are more progressive than the white boomers who mostly eat up Tucker Carlson's talking points. We'll be in the Portland area, in a pretty nice area, but I realize we're trading the culture war problems of the South with a lot of the homeless and petty crime that's plaguing much of the PNW, but I'd still much rather deal with that than living in a state where you can't get an abortion after six weeks, can't teach about the history of racism in schools, and have to deal with unhinged RWNJs who are allowed to conceal carry without a permit.
  6. About to lose it, I need to get the fuck off social media and just work. The parents and three year old are dead, the five year old is alive.
  7. I haven't posted on here much in the past couple of years, but yes Shaggy and early Surly a ton of these posters, who are still posting, made it very clear that their right to own guns trumped all, including dead kids.
  8. It's fucking insane, most people and tons and tons of gun owners and enthusiasts want these things banned, yet it feels like we will never be able to achieve this.

    2023 NFL DRAFT

    Patterson carried so much of the workload in 2021 and the beginning of 2022, but I think this pick signals they won't use him nearly as much unless Bijan really struggles somehow adapting to the game. Allgeier started getting tons of carries and started eating into Patterson's workload it felt like.

    2023 NFL DRAFT

    You've no idea how many UGA fans hate the Falcons because they almost never select Dawg players in the first two rounds. This was basically the reverse of the Falcons passing on Todd Gurley several years ago when he was available.

    2023 NFL DRAFT

    I fucking love Bijan, but I'm not sure my Falcons needed another RB when we really are shit on defense and had a decent run after the mid-point of last season.
  12. Didn't help that they hit god damn near every single free-throw in the last ten minutes too.
  13. Tighten the fuck up guys
  14. Bone stimulator you say?
  15. Team is ready to play some 80s and 90s NBA defense
  16. Fuck and shit, 9:59 Eastern for tipoff, fuck you Kansas City
  17. Hope our game starts on time. Going to be moving to the West Coast this summer with my family so won't have to deal with staying up late and getting up with the kid early anymore strictly for sports.
  18. God I love March
  19. I had a classmate at Georgia Southern who transferred from there, that's the only reason I know it. Ironically it's only about 30 minutes from St. Peter's University.
  20. I need to get a fucking tattoo to never EVER pick a Big 10 or Pac 12 team to win the championship, holy shit.
  21. Alright PSU v. Aggy, time to get slizzered
  22. You ain't ever had an urge to take a vacation to this utopia?
  23. Your cat better have a positive damn attitude if we're going to win this game.
